NEW GOLD SERIES

McCall's new addition to the series, materials such as 14c Gold and Gouache are used to treat the surface of the paper.

McCall began her ‘Circle Drawing' artworks in 2004 where she focuses on the durational element and physical process of drawing. Using graphite on paper she draws her full arm's length in a continuous circular motion to the point of complete exhaustion. During this physically demanding process, her position and ability to extend the arm diminishes to the extent she can no longer hold the graphite. McCall quotes, 'an important aim is to maintain a constant and continuous visible line that embodies time and energy.' While performing, painfully, her entire body is noticeably putting effort into the drawing. This intense action and durational element often cause the paper to fatigue and rip, which is often identified as her distinctive trademark.
